Review article

The article presents the results of studying the effect of size distribution of carbon-latex nanomodified particles on gypsum material microstructure. Nanomodified crystals have a denser packing, that is why the porosity of nanomodified gypsum is less. The crystal shape differs significantly: it changes from the fibrillar structure of gypsum monocrystals to the shape of shorter connected parallelograms. The results obtained may be useful for the design and development of carbon-latex-based gypsum construction materials with specific properties and characteristics. They can be applied at manufacturing of high-strength gypsum material products with improved operational properties, at restoration works, design and manufacturing of decorative gypsum stucco and other efficient gypsum materials and products.
